**Expd** is a command-line text expander tool.

It lets you associate short words with arbitrarily long texts, and expand them

in your clipboard (use `--no-copy` if you don’t want that).

## Install

    gem install expd

## Usage

```sh

# add a snippet

echo "This is my long text" | expd -a txt

# use it

expd txt

```

Use `expd -h` for more info.

## Support

Only Linux and OS X are supported for now; feel free to open a pull-request if

you want to add Windows support!

This is tested on Ruby 1.9.3+.

## Configuration

Snippets are stored in a YAML file located at `~/.expd_snippets`. You can edit

it yourself if you need to. The snippets are stored in a hash under the

`:snippets` key. Each key in the hash is a word and its value the expanded

text.
